A friend of mine, another pilot who flies for United does a beautiful imitation of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice and always tells the tower when cleared “I’ll be back” plus some other goodies. I like to use my princess voice sometimes - I can do a good Julie Hagerty when needed.
Lol!
According to friends and family I have always had a Clint Eastwood sounding voice. A few years ago, I left a message on my best friend’s home phone that I suggested that he use as the machine’s recorded answer to the caller:
“I know what you’re thinking. Did the phone ring 4 times or ONLY 3? Well, in your excitment to talk to Jeff and Darlene, you probably lost track. But, since you are listening to what is known around the WHOLE WORLD as an answering machine, you’ve got to ask youself this question: ‘Do I really want to leave my name, number, and a brief message?’ Well do ya friend?”
They seemed to like it. But I don’t think they put it on the machine.
